Mr. Jlyors is the shoriir at I'lntto-
moiith , nnd l.o went west nfter Win-
acit lust Friday , the wily ox-contiac-
tot's location beiiiff discovered nt
I'aoblo , Colorado. Winscit is ar-
-.itod on the clmrqo of cmbczxlomonl
from Dr. Black , n well known busi
ness man of I'liittsmoulh , and from
Uio JI. E. churoli aocioty at the s.imo
jilico. The iiinount obtiiincd from
thuao crooked oiierntioim aRKt'OKntos
about 85,000.
When Winccit fled from Omaha ,
December 10th , i fr. Drmcoll staten
that a warinnt for him had been in
thu hands of Mi.rulml Angell , of thia
city , for two wuuks , which charged
him with thu crimes upon
which ho is now nrrentcd. Mr. Dris
cell determined , when he discovered
tint Winscit had cscapod arrcat here
to follow him up , if it took ton years ,
and ho accordingly resolved liunsolf
into a detective agency to work up the
c.iae. In order to carry our , this still
hunt successfully ho obt lined the ser
vices of a woman who found work in
Mrs. Winscit'tt houuo , and thronuli
whom many valuable fnc a concerning
the contractor and his pretended wife
were obtained. The letters which
wore received by Mis. Winscit indica
ted that her husband had gone lirnt to
Atchison , Km. , and had from there
taken 1m way west , but to what exact
point could not bo ascertained , na
most of the letters were without post
mark and were written in an inge
niously contrived cipher.
It was finally ascertained that Win-
acit was somewhere in Colorado. Mr.
Driscoll sent photographs of hia man
and a description accompanying to
most of the principal points in that
state , nnd last week JIG heard from
one of thcso in the shapu of n letter
from Pueblo , which stated that n man
was there corresponding to the de
scription , who was advertising himself
and doing business as a contractor
under the name of Winacott. Instruc
tions wore telegraphed to obtain this
Winscott'o signature , and this was
done , the paper containing it being
forwarded to Mr. Driscoll. The writ
ing clinched the matter. Sheriff
Hyora started on Friday lust and
Monday arrested Winscitt in Pueblo ,
finding hini _ without dilliculty. The
t > nor of the dispatch that Winacit
likes Colorado air would seem to indi
cate that ho has made objections to
accompanying thu ahorifT back here ,
but it is not probable that Uyors will
bo seriously delayed with his prisoner.
i IIAUD PAIK.
While Mr. Driacoll nan been watch
ing IVlra. Winscit for the purpose of
discovering her husbands where
abouts , ho has also been quiutly look
ing up the record of the contractor ,
nnd has brought to light enough facts ,
according to hia utatemont , to demon-
etratp that Winscit is a rogue and
criminal of the moat pronounced character -
actor , nnd that lie has been aided and
abetted for many years by the woman
whom ho cnllsilna wifo. Mr. Driscoll
saya emphatically that they are a
"hard pair" and have both been on-
gngod in enough villinnioo to keep
them behind the li.ua for life.
TheBf Indent ami ollior infonimtion
tmow ' .hat Winsuit und his wife have
long been eiigiiytici in swindling and
other criminal operations nil over the
west. In oi'dur to more aucct-Bsfnlly
curry on thin business ho has passed by
the names of Wm. Norton , George D.
Aimer , Win. Chancy , Qeo. Bromfmld ,
Win. Goodman , Wm. Davis and lut-
turly as W. W. Winacott. Among
other things it ia charged that Win-
scit is afugitivo from justice at Doni-
plian , Kas. , where ho is claimed to be
wanted on the serious charge of mur ,
dor. The particulars of thin crime ,
which was committed about five years
ago , arc briefly as follows : Winscit
and his wife were nt u ball , when an
altercation aroao over the hand of
Mrs. Winacit for a dance.
In the row which was created it in
claimed that Winscit pulled his revolver
ver and shot a man of whom ho was
jaalous , killing him inatnntly. Win
no it then eac&pod in the confusion nnd
run out into the darkness. A partic
ular friend furnished Mrs. Winsoit
with n mule on which she rode , while
her husband walked , all of the way to
AiolriiiBon , the pair arriving there
by daylight.
From Atohinson they wont into Wy
oming and from there drifted south'
ward to Texas , whore Winscit became
involved in eomo disreputable transio-
tion , for which they wore obliged to
skip out nnd narrowly oscapcu with
their lives. In Las Vegas , Texas ,
they passed by the iinmu of D'Almor ,
and were widely known on account of
their fast living and expensive habits
of both. There Winscit was engaged
in contracting for structures of every
name nnd nature , BO that ho left
many Borrowing and revenge ul credi
tors behind.
_ Missouri was next u scene of opera
tions , and thu contract fraijjl wna re
peated at St. Louis. When Wintcit
skipped from there , ho left his wife
that time and shu adopted thu same
tuctica as practiced hot ? , pretending
that she was unaware of his whorea-
boutK and that ho had deserted her
penniless , Through the assistance of
sympathizing friends aha bccamo pro
vided with rncnns nnd household
goods , and was apparently doairous ot
forgetting her absent husband , and
only referred to him with expressions
of dislike.
One day filio mysteriously folded
her portable possessions \\ithiii the
confines of a trunk and dia.ippoarud ,
When next heard of she wan with her
husband again , and they were re
peating the same game on other con
fiding subjects.
At Stanbury , Mo. , Winscitappcared
as a contractor , bearing the iiaino 01
Wm , Norton. He engaged to con
fitruct n bank building for U , L ,
Tomblin , Eq. , and mndo a bin
splurga < 'f ' his business. He became
an active member of the I , 0 0. F. ,
and gained thu confidence of the
lodge to euch an extent that the >
made him treasurer. After a utny ol
sufficient duration to establish eonsid
orablo credit. Norton determined ( H
skip out , aim did so under thu pretext
that he was uoing after evergreens for
trimming the Odd Fellows' hall Ilk-
borrowed n handsome overcoat just
before ho left and took it with him.
The fact that neither the ardent rhn
ciplo of good fellowship , the overcoat ,
nor the evergreens showed up
in that neighborhood after. nrd
demonstrated to the [ people of
Stanbury who had had business
dealings with Mr. Norton that they
had caat their bread upon waters from
whrnco it is extremely unlikely to re-
turn. It waa found upon examination
into his ulluirs that he had left the
town poorer by several thousand dollars
lars than before hn atruck it.
It was after leaving Stinbury that
ho came to Omaha and assumed the
position of foreman at I3oyd's opera
house. After the completion of that
structure ho branched out as a con
tractor and at the time ot his depar
ture , December 10 , ho had about forty
buildingu on his handy. His credit
became largo and ho borrowed con
siderable money to oury on his uper.t
lions in this city beside the ruiiounir.
ho obtained at Vlitttnnn nth. His
total indebtnosa ia about § 8,000 , Ol
this amount it h not thought that
Winscit carried away much , ns ho had
been mout lavish in hia expenditures.
Personally he was n most agreeable
gentleman to meet , and was very gen
erous with his frumiln. Ony of the
recently discharged U. tt M. con
ductors wears n handsome diamond
pin presented him by Winscit , in return -
turn for n fnvor donu the hitter in the
way of transportntion , while several
gentlemen in thu city have been madu
the recipients of handsome gifts of
various kinds.
Architect Driscoll has been inter
esting himself to nuch an extent in
the capture of Winscit , bicauso of
the embarrassment caused him by the
Iftttcr'rt leaving. Ho had dtawn plans
for Rovcntcon of NVinacit's contem
plated or partly finished structures ,
and wiia consequently blamed by some
of the pai ties who had advanced
money , because he had been associn
icd with the rascally contractor. This
persevering hunt for the man
and the aucccss attending
it will , doubtless , tully exonerate Mr.
Driscoll from any responsibility in
Winsctt's transactions , and at the
same time reflect great credit upon
him for keen detective ability.
Winsiit represented here that he
had been associated in years gone by
with I'iukerton's detective force. A
letter was sent to Mr. Pmkorton with
a photograph , and elicited a reply that
the official had never seen Winscit or
had him in hia employ. The whole
caieer of Winscit and his wife is
cbuded by discreditable transactions ,
and it is highly probable that they
have reached the end of their rope.

THE PAVING BILL.
The Governor Petitioned In Regard
to Clmrtor Amendments.
The committee appointed some time
ago by the board of trade to draft a
bill providing for the paving of our
atreot , has completed its work and
has united with our legislative delega
tion in u petition to Gov. Nance to
embody in hia call for n special session
of thu legislature , the matter of leg
islation for citiua of the first , class.
Messrs. Cowin , Doane. llowe nnd
Prilchntt , united in working up thu
bill , which is regarded ixa proof againat
nil attacks on thu constitutionality of
the bond clause.
Thu bill was endorsed by thu citi
zens' committee and by the represen
tatives of Douglas county on Friday
night , and its principal features uro na
follows :
The city council is given power to
pave any a trout which they deem ne
cessary to be pavedincise n majority
of the.property holders on the street
desire mhavo it paved they may unite
in a petition to the council , and then
it ia obligatory upon the council to
have it done. The bill provides for
paving districts. One or more blocks
may constitute n district. This de
pends upon the number of property
holders uniting. Bonds not to exceed
8100,000 nro to bo issued annually , to
run ten years at 0 per cent. , and nro alien
lion upon the property , the city thus
guaranteeing thu payment. Thu city
in to pave thu intersection of streets
and thu spaces opposite thu alloytt.
This is 1'ijuul to one-third , so that
8100,000 is equal to § 300,000 of pav
ing , thu property owners paying for
two-thirds. Provision ia made for u
board of public works , to consist of
three men appointed by thu mayor
and continued by the council , their
terms to be one , two and three years ,
so that thu bourd will always have
two old members , The salary o ! the
chairman ifl not to exceed $2,000 per
annum , and the salary of the other
members ia nut to exceed $1,000.
STILL HOLDING OUT.
The Striking Shovolora Stick
to Thsir RefitHnl to
Work.
A Few Mon Remain on the Ground
nud nro Protected by the
Pollco.
The condition of affairs in the
ahovelers strike for higher wages ia
unchanged yesterday. Yesterday
about two hundred and fif y moil con
gregated at the point where the H &
M. excavating is going on with their
shovels nnd indicated their \viljiiujncs.s
to go to work nt $1.50 a day Mr.
Stephenaon again refused to grant the
increase nnd the men did not resume
operations. They were poacablo and
orderly but remained on the spot for
a long time endeavoring to induce
throe or four men who had gone to
work to quit also.
The police worn upon the ground
early but found nothing to demand
their presence and after a time with
drew.
There docs not seem to bo any dis
position on the part of thu strikers to
take possession of the place or to com
mit any violence , but the men are
evidently of the opinion that they can
dissuade any other laboiera from going
to work and think that Stophcnson
will bo obliged to give in to their de
mands. They state that it will bo
nocoasary for him to get men to work
pretty soon , as the time allowed far
completion of the job ia limited.
At one p. m. ycsttr.lay nboutfiftccn
men attempted to go to work in the
cut , but the crowd again gathered and
interfered with them to such an ex
tent that all but four or five gaveiI
up. The only man who has not bjun
bothered by the strikers' intorferopco
is an elderly Iriuhnuin , h ith duif und
dumb. He keeps steadily at hia job ,
and as none of the crowd are especi
ally anxious to run againat hin pick-
itxo , they leave him alone.
Contractor Stcphonsou said s'u'tii-
ficantly yesterday that ho would
have men at work to day who
wouldn't stuiid any foolishness , and
intimated that if the strikers inter
fered with them there would bo some
sore heads in that vicinity.
HOSIERS' CASE.
The Flea in Abatement Sustained by
Judoro Savage.
The plea in abatement filed by the
counsel for Charles Kosters , wan
arpnod in the district cou t yeafo
d < iyby Messrs. Cowin and Stnythcand
District Attorney Burnhnm. So plain
waa the proposition on which the pica
waa founded and the law on thu nub-
ject that Judge Savacro did not con
sider it necessary to delay his decision.
The pica washeldgood. This decision
will alfect on two cases , that ot
Masters and Henry Si rt and both
will be hold over to awuit the action
of the grand jury next teiiri unless a
special grand jury ia called.
District Attorney Burnham saya he
will thia morning ask the court
to call a special grand jury and pro
cure new indictments against both
Kostors and Siort so that their cases
can be taken up this term.
The jury in the case of A. Biorbaum
was discharged at 1:30 : p. ra. and the
bond forfeited.
ABSENT ABRAM ,
Bierbaum Breaks A-way from
the Bastile ,
And 13 Thought to bo Exploring the
Bottom of the Missouri.
There was quite a little sensation
in the district court yesterday
which is rather dillicult to deal with
on account of the uncertainty as to
whether the subject ia a villain or a
victim.
The trial of Abram Bierbanm , no
ausod of receiving stolen copper from
the gang of boys who hud been raid
ing the U. P. shops nnd yards , was
begun Monday nnd should have
benn concluded ycaterd.xv but for the
fact t at t e accusoa was conspicu
ously absent. It was reported on thu
street before the court officials were
informed of the fact' , that Biorbaum
had skipped the town , und his bondsmen - ,
men , Henry Spieglo and Imiac Brown ,
were buay hunting for detectives to
put on thu track of thu absent indi
vidual , fur whoso appearance they
had given security to thu tune of
91,000 ,
When court had been called yus
terdny und thu usual routine busi
ness disposed of , the jury who had sat
on Bierbaum'a cose waa in tlio box and
ready to listen to the concluding tosti
niony. District , Attorney Burnham
announced that the defendant waa not
in the court room and the deputy
sheriff railed him throe times without
succusa , after which the bondsmen's
names were called and the bond of
$1,000 forfeited.
Hon. J , C , Cowin , one of liici-
bnum'a counsel stated that hia clii'ii.
WUB absent and that he believed it to
bi through no intention to evade the
roault of the trial. IIo said thar
Bierbaum was seen Monday , wan
dering about the streets , tearing Jib
hair , groaning nnd carrying on
like one bereft of reason ; that
nlHiut 0 o'clock yesterday ho struck
oil' toward the river and hia friemlH
feared that he hud thrown himself in
and had been looking for him for nev-
iirnl hours. "lie haaieon \ , " said Mr
Cowin , "tho victim of n damnable
conspiracy and it haa preyed upon his
mind until ho haa gone crazy. " The
general naked , if it waa consistent
with the rules of the court , that the
jury bo not discharged but held for a
short time , aa ho expected Bierbaum.
would be found in n low hours.
Col. Smytho made u similar state
ment to the court , and accordingly
the jury WM merely oxouued until
1:30 : p. m. , when it was believed the
whereabouts of the mUsiiw man
would become known. Tim nnproa-
sipn conveyed by his counaol is that
Bieilnum has committed auicidu from
the cllcctsof worrying over hia trouble ,
but the conduct of his bondsmen
dots not indicate that they are very
tntiguhio of any nuch aot having been
committed. Tut : 13in : reporter talked
with an officer who was conversant
with the facts in the cnsonnd ko scon *
ed the idea of Bierbaum having suici
ded , lie declared him to bo n ku'
man nnd laughed nt the idea of ncm
spirncy. "Ho haa skipped the tovui ,
that's nil , " was his emphatic remark.
It hna been stated on the street that
Biorbaum paid his bondsmen tin
money before ho left but this was not
likely and it is really a matter of
doubt as to whether ho was driven to
tnko his own life or haa yonu off to
escape retribution for his crime.

BRICK THE STREETS.
An Entirely Now Paving Proposition.
To the Editor of Thu lice :
There is a deposit of clay w ithin the
city limits which if converted into
well made and thoroughly burned
bricks will resist a pressure of three
to four thousand pounds to the square
inch just the thing to pave our
streets. Three courses should be
used : the first laid ilat tmd cemented ,
the second cource laid on edge and
cemented , the third and lust course
laid like the Nicholson blocks , which
touch each other at the base , leaving
n apace of say one-half inch between
the balance of the bricku for asplml-
turn. One thousand such bricks will
lay eight yards , costing $1.25 per
ynrd , the bricks being furnished at
810 per thousand. Stiectu pavud
thereby will bo impervious to mois
ture from below or above , dry , com
pact , solid , durable and cheap , and as
fur boa'uty they would delight the eye
of Oscar Wilde. If the bricks should
bo chosen to j.avo with an extensive
manufactory would bo added to our
progressive city and thousands saved
on freights. The bond burden , too ,
will set lighter on the shoulders of
the tax payers and all will bo proportionately
tionately happier. E. B. HUWT.

OMAHA BIRDS WIN.
A Spirited Cocking Main Between
Onraostora from this City nnd
Council DlurTs.
- r
Among local sporting events none
hail attracted more attention than the
cocking limn nhieli occurred about
two inilea north of the city Monday
afternoon , The fact that the fighta
were to bo between Council Bluffs
birds and those from this city intensi
fied the interest felt by sporting men
on both sidea of the river. Thamatch
waa made for $100 , but the amount of
money left on this sidu y the BlufT-
itea considerably oxccndod five times
that amount. About four hundred
spectators , saw the main , which in
cluded five battles. ThoOmnlu birda
won four out of five The fighting
was sharp nnd in all caaei but ono de
cided by the death of the vanquished
birds.
It ia claimed by the Council BluH's
parties that they wore permitted only
to drop "ataga , " or birds less than
two years old , in the pit against- full
aged cocks , and that they did not ex
pect to win under those conditions.
The long gall's woio used , alao , which
the Blutla men claim was an addition-
ul disadvantage to their > oung birda
which were without experience An
other main haa been ugreed upon nnd
will probably tnkti place willim a
week or ten days. The light will
probably bo for § 200 , and will bo decided -
cided by ton battloa , in which only
old birda will bo matched.
Th'o antidotal theory , now admitted Io be
the only treatment uhlch will eradicate Catarrhal -
rhal Poison.
